ram explained please :p

Supposedly theres more bandwidth (GB/Sec) but only Intel socket 1366 boards and CPUS use this.

But it doesnt help in any way as Intel Socket 1155 Sandybridge CPU's such as i5 2500k and i7 2600K are more than a match for the older CPUs and easily beat them in almost all charts, the i7 2600K is even a match for the £750 i7 990X
 
2 main things the speed and teh cas latency
speed is mhz 1333mhz, 1600mhz 1866mhz etc etc but tbh 1333mhz and liek 1866mhz not much of real difference . Maybe boosts some benchmark scores to show off to friends but thats about it hehe.

Cas latency/timings is like number 9-9-9-24 etc lower the better,
again having 8-8-9-24 RAM and 9-9-9-24 RAM not really much difference, well its hard to notice anything really.

Only exception seems to be New APU AMD LLANO which basically likes fast/ low latency ram :)
 
ok so really people pay money for the look and cooling capabilitys of the ram rather than the performance extra it will give

ok thanks a lot guys :)
 
Well 1600mhz RAM is about the same price as 1333mhz RAM now, but just a few days ago 1333mhz RAM was £10 less so if you were on a really tight budget it was a good little saving.

Sandybridge performance doesnt alter much with timings or speed.

And then theres big aftermarket heatsinks that physically dont fit with tall RAM such as Ripjaw or the OCZ Reaper.
 
i kind of like the gskill ripjaw ram :p are there any good coolers that fit with thee with my setup stulid ?

useing that asrock mobo and the nzxt phatom case
 
Noctua NH-D14 fits, just,


But without detailed tchnical drawings showing the dimensions of the base of a cooler to the first set of cooling fins its almost impossible to tell what fits.

Any of the water cooling all-in-one systems will fit such as Corsair H60/70/80 and the Antec Kuhlurs 620/920.


I cant use RAM slot#1 on my Asrock board with Dominator GT RAM and a Titan fenrir.
